A refined serif with sculptural, high-contrast-like behavior expressed through sharp triangular wedges and tapered joins rather than hairline stems. Many letters show pronounced, pointed terminals and asymmetric, calligraphy-informed curves that create a lively, slightly unconventional rhythm. Uppercase forms feel tall and statuesque with crisp apexes and deep, clean counters; lowercase features distinctive strokes and dramatic entry/exit shapes (notably in letters like a, g, r, and y), giving the texture a curated, display-oriented character. Numerals continue the same language with elegant curves and sharp finishing cuts.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and brand identities where the sharp terminals and sculpted curves can read clearly. It can also work for short passages in premium editorial settings when set with generous size and leading, but it is most compelling as a display face.
The tone is polished and fashion-forward, projecting elegance with a hint of theatrical flair. Its sharp wedges and stylized curves feel boutique and editorial, adding personality without becoming chaotic.
Likely designed to reinterpret classic serif proportions with a more stylized, wedge-driven construction, aiming for a contemporary editorial voice. The goal appears to be memorable word shapes and a luxe, art-directed feel for branding and display typography.
The design’s signature is the repeated use of knife-like terminals and wedge serifs, which produces strong sparkle at larger sizes and a distinctive silhouette in words. The overall spacing reads as deliberate and airy, supporting a luxurious, high-end impression.
